Hugo Ekitike is on the verge of becoming a Liverpool player, although the Reds are far from done in the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old will become the latest big signing in what has already been a huge summer for Liverpool, with Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez having already been signed, while goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has completed his move from Valencia after a deal was agreed last year.

Ekitike is set to complete his $106 million move from Eintracht Frankfurt this week, with the striker already on his way for his medical before he jets off to meet up with his new teammates out in Hong Kong.

Already with a Premier League-winning squad at his disposal, Arne Slot has been bolstered for next season’s defense, and there is still the potential for more signings to be made.

A new defender is likely to become the next priority, especially after Jarell Quansah’s move to Bayer Leverkusen left Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez as the only remaining senior center-backs, while a late play for Alexander Isak might not necessarily be out of the question.

The Reds though will also be looking to offload, with a number of players facing uncertain futures.

Luis Diaz in particular continues to be linked with a move away, with Bayern Munich plotting a second bid after being turned down last week with an initial offer.
